Lena Zawaideh, who was formerly a drummer in White’s rock band Bad Things, alleged in a 2016 lawsuit that White “repeatedly sexually harassed her and forced his authoritarian management style on her for over seven years.” White allegedly sent Zawaideh sexually explicit photos and videos, made sexual remarks toward her and directed her to wear revealing clothing, according to the lawsuit.

White and Zawaideh reached a settlement in May 2017. Their representatives did not immediately respond to TIME’s requests for comment on Tuesday, though White’s lawyers have previously denied the claims.

“I’ve grown as a person over the years,” White said on Today Wednesday. “It’s amazing how life works in twists and turns and lessons learned. Every experience in my life, I feel like it’s taught me a lesson. I definitely feel like I’m a much more changed person than I was when I was younger. I’m proud of who I am today.”
